uncompromising order  martial in its discipline  forged through sheer force of will."-Barack

great book . . . Its dead level honesty  its passion  its exalted purpose  will make it stand
as a monument to the most painful truth."-The Nation  "The most important book I'll ever read

I had inside me. I'm one of hundreds of thousands whose lives were changed for the
better."-Spike Lee  "This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the
Afro-American struggle."-I. F. Stone
